It's a nice, lightweight, thin laptop. No arguing about the technology developments necessary to deliver such a thin laptop...
But, it's just a laptop. UK prices are a couple of hundred quid more than I was expecting for it during the keynote. If I had to buy myself an every-day laptop, and it was within budget, it'd be a serious contender (for me, at least).
The new iPod Touch and iPhone apps are very interesting: again, it shows what software can do if you've got the resources and commitment from top-to-bottom in the company. The SDK next month will be another key moment in the future of the NITs.
It seems Apple are already at "step 4.5", how long until Nokia as a company have the commitment to the NITs that Apple has to the iPhone/Touch? Step 5? After step 5? Of course, they're very different companies, with Nokia having many more products. That just means they're all a little inferior to one or two which have so much *love* invested in them from the CEO down.
